OLD START COLD START On My Peterbilt 379!

Hello guys! It's been getting pretty chilly around here! Temperature was -12 degrees on this start. I think a 2006 Cat C15 MXS Electronic engine is supposed to start a little better than this in the cold though....
The second early morning bonus start video was -18, plugged into the block heater, though, I have a feeling the block heater is no longer working because that was a tough start!!

I’m retired now but I remember having that little bit of anxiety when it come to cold start. However, the smell of cold start smoke never got old.

That is a brutal thing to do to your truck ... Why don't you take it home and plug it in ? That takes a lot of miles off your poor old truck ...

I'm 60. Will aways remember those. Saturday morning going to work with Dad. He drove an White Western Star. I miss the old man

In weather like this dont be afraid to give it a snort of ether in the intake. Spin it over to make sure batt are not dead spray 2-3 seconds in the intake then start. You may need more in the real cold... It will start firing on all cylinders right away and stop the hard knock. People tend to be afraid of ether but its easier on things then a heavy diesel knock is. Its when you pump to much into a engine with dead battery's or a hot engine when the problems happen with ether. Its very important to spin over first so you know it will spin.

I can't watch and listen as you beat on this poor Ole truck. Buy a wabasto heater or somthing. 😢

I remember going out and starting the truck for dad on those cold days while he sat inside and drank his coffee and ate his breakfast, those were good days.😊

Today's truck drivers with newer trucks will never know this feeling ❤

The choking the coughing... I feel like I can' breath🥶

Rev to 1800 and set the cruise to hold the rpm. I’ve always done that on cold starts to warm up the truck quicker.

I go through 4 emotions watching cold starts. Anxiety - with everything crossed, hoping that it starts.

[@trevorritchie2575]

You could feel the amp draw on the cold night start by how dim the lights got! I wasn't sure if it would start or not without ether. That was definitely borderline! Good thing you've got good batteries.

Just listening to that clanking sound sends chills up my spine and makes my teeth hurt. I’m always worried for the owner that one of the connecting rods is gonna come loose and vent a block. Lol 🥶

Love the sounds. Brings back lots of memories. Be safe, and warm, driver
